Peep Show

American LeagueAnaheim Angels: As Mark Saxon of the Orange County
Register points out, when you've spent as long a time
in the minors as Brendan Donnelly did, a minor league
rehab stint is the last thing you want to do.
Donnelly, who didn't make his big league debut until
he was 30, is currently at Lancaster in the California
League and is resisting a switch to Triple A before
rejoining the Angels. Saxon reports that when he does
return, he will not get his set-up job back as
Francisco Rodriguez has been lights out so far in that
role. Donnelly could rejoin the team by the end of the
weekend.

Koch

Chicago White Sox:Billy Koch was in an apologetic
mood after turning a routine save opportunity into a
theme park thrill ride last night. Koch walked two
batters and allowed a run but managed a save with the
tying run just 90 feet from home. "There's absolutely
no reason in the world I should walk those guys," Koch
told Bob Foltman of the Chicago Tribune. "Let them put
the ball in play and get themselves out." Koch, who
throws harder than 99.99999 percent of every human
ever born, has never quite gotten the most out of his
speed. "I apologize to everyone out there. It's not
fair to have to bite your nails down to a bloody stump
watching me pitch."
